Using Matthew 18, the sermon explores Jesus's response to the disciples' question about who is greatest in the kingdom. The speaker highlights that becoming "like a child" is key to entering the kingdom because children do not become offended and do not hold grudges in the same way adults do. The sermon also addresses the concept of "scandalon," or the trap of offense, and how it can hinder a person's spiritual walk.- Becoming Like a Child- The Trap of Offense- The Kingdom of Heaven- The Process of Reproving a Brother- Forgiveness and RestorationThe main takeaway from this sermon is that the biblical process for addressing a sinning brother, as described in Matthew 18, is focused on a single goal: to win the brother back. The speaker emphasizes that the process begins with a private conversation and is not meant to shame or punish, but to restore a person who has sinned.**Hashtags**#forgiveness #Christianity #ChristianLiving #Sermon #BibleStudy #Offense #UnforgivenessThere is a very effective weapon that the enemy of souls uses against us all, to cause us to distance ourselves from God... this is the weapon of un-forgiveness.
